Outstanding photographers. We couldn't have asked for better.

Peter and Paul were incredible, just truly incredible. I'm looking through my pictures and writing this with overwhelming emotion just at how pleased we are with their work. Not only are their images just beautiful but the way they handled the guests and got them all together for us told us where to be and at what time and suggested ideas for great pictures was just brilliant. Truly professional and masters at what they do.

Just the best day ever. Thank you Morgan James

Peter and his colleague Vicky made our wedding day the best. We were a little unsure about doing an engagement shoot beforehand but he made it so much fun and we had some lovely images from it. On the day he was there from bridal preparation through till late into the evening. They showed us some of the pictures on the day and we've ordered an album which came yesterday. Just amazing value for money i'd recommend peter (and vicky) every day of the week.

Insanely good photography. Peter is an absolute gem

So firstly can I say that this guy is awesome. His photography is just beautiful. But he will literally do ANYTHING to get the shot including lying in a puddle of water to get the reflections of me and my husband Iolo. Nothing is too much trouble. He kept in touch all the way through the booking process and the engagement shoot was just a wonderful touch. If you're getting married book Petr and his team they are the best. Literally.

Capturing the Magic of Our Special Day =- Just an Incredible Wedding Photographer

We recently had the pleasure of having Morgan James Photography capture our big day and we couldn't be more thrilled with the results. From the very beginning, Peter impressed us with his professionalism, talent, and warm demeanour, making our wedding day truly unforgettable.

From the moment his team arrived, it was clear that he was not just there to capture pictures but to create an experience for us and our guests. They seamlessly blended in with the crowd, putting everyone at ease, and making everyone feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. Their ability to interact with our guests and family members was exceptional. We received countless compliments about their friendly and approachable nature, which helped make the day even more enjoyable.

What truly sets Peter and his team apart, however, is their artistic eye and attention to detail. They didn't just capture moments; they captured emotions, relationships, and the essence of our special day. The images they produced are nothing short of breathtaking. Each photo tells a story, and we are so grateful to have these memories to cherish forever.

During the planning process, Peter was incredibly responsive and accommodating and catered to my every question. He took the time to understand our vision and preferences, ensuring that every important moment was documented. His communication and organisation were impeccable, making us feel confident in his abilities throughout the entire process.

The turnaround time for receiving our photos was surprisingly quick, and the results exceeded our expectations. The high-resolution images were delivered in a beautifully presented online gallery, making it easy to share our precious memories with friends and family and for them to purchase prints if they wished.

In summary, we can't recommend this wedding photographer highly enough. They not only captured the beauty of our wedding day but also enhanced it by making everyone feel at ease and comfortable in front of the camera. Peter's remarkable talent and personable nature are a rare combination that makes him stand out in his field. If you want a photographer who will not only capture your wedding but also become a beloved part of your day, look no further. He is a true professional, a gifted artist, and an absolute joy to work with. Thank you for making our day so special!

Overall a wonderful experience through the day. The speed and quality of the pictures was top notch

I thought your attitudes were brilliant and you were patient with us throughout the whole day. The way that Peter corralled the crowd into getting pictures was brilliant and something we wouldn’t have been able to do. Overall a wonderful experience throughout the day. The speed and quality of the pictures were top notch

Captured us, our family and friends, and the occasion perfectly.

We can't recommend Morgan James Photography enough. Peter photographed our wedding and he captured us, our family and friends, and the occasion perfectly.

He is engaging, funny and enthusiastic - a great person to be around - and is the most talented photographer. His eye for detail and making the most of the light and the surroundings is exceptional.
Peter puts everyone at ease and, by the end of the day, everyone was sad to see him go! Our photos are perfect - thank you, Peter.

Penarth Pier Wedding

We only wanted an hour of photos that captured key people at the wedding. Peter went above and beyond capturing incredible photos that made us - and the venue - look amazing! On top of that he managed to corall all the guests for a huge photo and grab some of guests arriving too - both a huge bonus. We were thrilled with the photos. My husband hates having his photos taken but Peter managed to capture our personalities, put us at ease and make us laugh. I would highly recommend.

The most fantastic addition to our day. Took the most amazing photos

Peter was the most fantastic addition to our day - our family, friends and guests loved him. He and his colleague took the most amazing photos. We had an engagement shoot with Peter which was so incredibly unique and special to us and we knew from the start we had to go with him. Communication was spot on and answered every question we threw at him. He has incredible organisation and humour and kept us all on time and ready to go. Thank you Peter. You truly are the best at what you do. Lots of love, Vicky and Tom

Outstanding Photographers. Made us feel incredible on the day

My husband Tom and I got married at Pencoed House. The day was captured beautifully by Peter, Paul and Victoria. They photographed all our guests and even made my grumpy aunt look beautiful. It was the attention to detail that surprised us the most though with little things like my silver sixpence on the bottom of my shoe being photographed and people's expressions. Well worth the money and lovely people too.

We are so pleased with our decision to go with Morgan James Photography, and would recommend to everyone!

We were so utterly blown away by Pete's energy, attention to detail and professionalism. From first thing in the morning until the last thing at night, Pete was there to capture every moment, with a massive smile on his face! All our guests loved him and by the end of the night he was more like a friend- we didn't want him to leave! It's very clear that Pete loves what he does and his passion to get that perfect shot was second to none. We are so pleased with our decision to go with Morgan James Photography, and would recommend it to everyone!
